Don't know if you've ever heard of Useppa Island, which is down south of you.

Useppa is actually north of here. It was a staging area for the ill
fated Cuban Bay of Pigs invasion among other things. It is now a
very posh residents club and resort. Directly west of Useppa,
several hundred yards across the Gulf Coast ICW is Cabbage Key.
Cabbage Key has some guest cottages and a small restaurant/pub which
is a very popular boating destination hereabouts.


Well, I thought I was responding to Greg, and that Useppa Is. was south of him. But, I'm getting
older'n hell.

I think the Union sympathizers who staged from Useppa were much more successful than the Bay of Pigs
guys.
